Guardiola offers up bizarre justification for Man City’s defeat to Tottenham.
Pep Guardiola made an odd justification when commenting on Manchester City’s Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham won 1-0 over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday thanks to a goal from Harry Kane in the 15th minute.
However, Guardiola did not criticize his squad for the setback and instead offered a unique explanation, claiming that his players were influenced by the journey to north London.
Speaking to reporters Guardiola said: “We are an attractive team. Our teams are always good, we try to go forward and be generous for our fans. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but I cannot complain much. When you win four Premier Leagues in five years we cannot complain much about what we have done and the way we have done it.

“We try to continue to do it and improve the things that will help us in the future. But we go back to Manchester. Coming to London is like going to, I don’t know, northern Europe. It is 4 hours 20 minutes, 4 hours and a half to get to a hotel. It’s so exhausting to come to London, I’m sorry. We need to come back to Manchester and prepare for the game against Aston Villa.”
Since 2019, City has now lost all five of their games played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Additionally, they have failed to score there and have given up seven goals without scoring any of their own.
On Sunday, the defending champions host Aston Villa in a Premier League match.
